FakeNovelChapter 381:
Sean gently ran his fingers through Norah's hair, then he closed his eyes.
The room had been quiet.
Maybe it was Norah's tears earlier, but as she nestled into the warm embrace, her nerves relaxed, and
sleepiness washed over her.
When Susanna bounded downstairs with joy, she caught Sean's silent gesture, his finger pressed against his lips,
signaling for her to lower her voice. Observing the scene, Susanna tiptoed gently.
Norah, adorned in subtle makeup, lay nestled in Sean’s embrace, serene and softly breathing.
“Sean, what's the plan?” Susanna whispered.
Susanna figured Norah must be exhausted to fall asleep like that.
“How about you head out first?” Sean asked.
“No, | want to stay here.”
With wide eyes, she said, “Norah’s got a room all set up for me.”

Pointing upstairs, she mimicked walking with her fingers.
“I'll go upstairs to rest. Sean, make sure Norah's okay.”
Susanna trusted Sean’s integrity. She was convinced that even if Norah stripped down before him, he'd remain
composed and honorable.
She was mistaken. Love had a way of testing one’s self-control.
Sean gazed down at Norah, nestled in his embrace. Her long lashes cast shadows, her natural pink lips pursed
like a rosebud.
The more he looked, the more content he felt.
Initially, falling for someone feels like a flutter, but as they journey through daily life together, their emotions
deepen and grow stronger.
He'd always mention how she’d slip into his thoughts without him even realizing it. And it was true. He squeezed
Norah in his arms, holding her close.
He believed she deserved nothing but the best.
Norah slept for a long time. As she blinked awake, darkness surrounded her. A soft glow from a little night light in
the corner revealed she was in the living room. Did she fell asleep? In the living room? Where were Sean and
Susanna? Had they left? Norah felt puzzled. She tucked her hands beneath her, feeling the strain in her muscles
as she glanced downward.
Then, she caught Sean’s drowsy eyes.
“What's the time?” Sean asked.
Cuddled up with Norah in his arms, he had enjoyed the warmth until he too had drifted off to sleep without
realizing it.
Norah sat up, grabbed the phone, and unlocked the screen.
“It’s one in the morning.”
She massaged her temples. It was clear she hadn't slept well, probably from lying on Sean’s chest the entire
time.
“Where's Susanna? Why did | fall asleep?”
She recalled pondering Susanna’s sickness and the Wilson family affairs. As she dwelled on them, she slowly
drifted off into unconsciousness.
She was startled. Falling asleep in front of Sean was unexpected.
It looked like she had let her guard down around him and started revealing her softer side.
“Susanna’s upstairs resting. You fell asleep the moment you laid on me.”

Sean massaged his tingly arm and suggested, “It's bedtime. Get srest. Don’t forget to wash off your
makeup before you sleep.”
Although her makeup was stunning, leaving it on overnight wasn’t good for her skin.
Sean now had a small understanding of makeup.
“Alright.”
After a brief moment, Norah regained her composure.
“I'll head up then.”
“Get sgood rest, Norah.” As Sean stood up, she grabbed his wrist.
“It’s late. Phillip’s probably gone. There's an empty room upstairs. I'll clean it for you, and you can sleep there
tonight.”
Sean turned around.
With affectionate eyes and a faint grin, he asked, “You wantto stay?”
Caught off guard, Norah responded, “It's late. I'm just making sure you get srest. What's on your mind? I'll
go upstairs and straighten things up for you.”
With her phone in hand, she went upstairs, preparing a room for Sean, conveniently situated opposite hers on
the sfloor.
